Preview R1 v St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium (Sunday, March 24)

[kreglze]

There was some talk that Corbett would play in an scratch match this weekend?

Would this be with the NEAFL gc suns side?

Yeah, if he plays, it will be with the Suns NEAFL team against PBC this weekend.

Sounds most likely. He's coming off an injury right? So prob want to get some match fitness in him.

I wish the media would have more respect for us leading into round 1. Fevola seemed to imply St Kilda would implode from the inside if they are to lose to us on Sunday. That grinds my gears when you consider neither team has even played a home and away fixture this year!

 

[kreglze]

I live here in Melbourne and just block it all out.

The reality is that Melbourne media will give us respect only when we start winning or show promise like Lions. Personally, I don't care. Some of these clowns don't even know players names. It's interesting they think we will play kids round 1 when in fact only draftee in will be Lukosius and then 2nd year Ballard. I suspect we will be 24 year plus average age. It would be great to get 4 points. Definitely a good chance.

Which is funny because we beat Brisbane at the Gabba last and should have beat them at home with half a side out injured.
Since moving from Victoria 18 years ago l know understand why my cousins in WA dislike Victorians so much. Especially the media.

I actually hope they do.

I've picked St Kilda to win the spoon.

Me too.

Everyone saying this is a must win for st kilda lol How about who is best on the day deserves to win. Seems the most sense.

 

[SandyToes]

Well I can honestly say this is the worst I've felt about the Club since inception, which is odd given the positive hype emanating from the Club
Which in itself may be a positive given how badly we've done when I've felt good coming off the pre-season

rumour no jack martin?

rumour no jack martin?

Named on the extended bench. No massive surprises.

 

[Sunny_]

No Ah Chee either. Both he and Martin were average during JLT.

Named on the extended bench. No massive surprises.

King, Rischa and Day my emergencies based on the extended bench.

One more needs to be named. I would say Joyce will also miss as well.

 

[Cochblocked]

No Brodie or Ah Chee. Guess it's not too surprising. Hopefully of those named on the bench King doesn't play he just isn't ready.

Seen one journo saying he’s been dropped but other than that nothing.

Big, big call by Dew if not injury related. Would be sending a message alright between Martin and Brodie.

rumour no jack martin?

Any reason for this? (considering him as a SC fwd option) thanks

 

[Peel67skin]

I don't think Martin or maybe Ah Chee want to comit to the team beyond this year .

 

[kreglze]

If Martin had been dropped I assumed he wouldn't even be on the bench.

Average during JLT, rumour of no team buy in so I assume not really standing out on the track either. If he's dropped at least the messaging is consistent with other guys. Need to be playing and training well to get your spot.

 

[Sunny_]

If Martin had been dropped I assumed he wouldn't even be on the bench.

Good point.

 

[Mini GF]

If Martin had been dropped I assumed he wouldn't even be on the bench.

That makes more sense. You wouldn’t have him in the squad if he’s been banished already. He’d be joining Brodie and Ah Chee in the Left Right Out Crew.

 

[Peel67skin]

If Martin had been dropped I assumed he wouldn't even be on the bench.

Hard to said , you need to name you interchange anyway and drop someone tomorrow for Sunday matches.

 

[Young_Guns]

Congrats Chris Burgess on making the most of his opportunity in such a short time. Now to hold onto it with a few bags hopefully.

With GHS, Murdoch, Miles coming in and Hanley (hopefully) getting a run at it, we don’t look quite as young as I thought. Will be good to have more of those more mature heads on the field this year.

It is very easy to send a message and name the other 14 people on the list.
